Many use these services, because they're better and more reliable for their
purposes than the alternatives available to them. They're making professional
choices.
I agree.
I've also seen many people who keep a gmail or other mass market account
as a professional address knowing that they will move between
institutional addresses. As companies come and go faster and people
transition between them more often, keeping a semi-permanent
professional contact point is a sound strategy.
I think that it is unwise to use gmail as a "bozo filter" these days.
